While an estimated 60 million people turned to the TV to watch the presidential debate Wednesday night, millions more joined the live water cooler conversation on Twitter. In the Christian community, the best known Christian leaders appeared to mostly stay away from tweeting their thoughts on the debate between President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney.

However, some pastors and ministry leaders did take the opportunity to chime in. Here are just some of the comments made on Twitter during and shortly after the debate:

"Love the fact that President Obama owns the word 'Obamacare.' Now, we just need Gov. Romney to own 'Romneycare.'

"Remember, regardless of who wins debates or elections, Jesus won't ride a donkey or an elephant! – Ed Stetzer, expert in missiology and vice president of Research and Ministry Development for LifeWay Christian Resources

"Is it just me or is Romney doing pretty well in this debate? I'm impressed. #debate"

"My question is -- Who is Big Bird voting for? #debates"

"The president appears to need a hug. #debates" – Tobin Perry, editor at the North American Mission Board

"Obama talks about government the way Billy Graham talks about God. #denverdebates2012 #cantafford4more"
